Insim under new management!

[Lorelei]

It's been suggested here and on other forums that Walt may try to sell our data as mailing lists. He's desperate now so even if he wouldn't do it normally, he's cornered and losing money. I'd like to see that handled as well, somehow, if it's possible.

Grand idea, heartily seconded.

Even better, scramble them, but make them look legit, so if he tries to sell the email addresses, they are worthless and he gets some other people furious with him.

I haven't quite had time to read through the last 30 gazillion pages you guys posted since I went to bed last night (yes, I know, sleep is for wimps so sue me!)

we're trying to get stuff hard deleted but the site is up and down more times than a tart's knickers

[kattenijin]

I sort of assumed that the reason Pescado locked the ISA was to do the hard deletes there first, as it was the smaller and less accessed site, and then move on to WIS.

some people have specifically requested their sections gone, I'm not going to ignore that

I hope this is what is happening - i think it all needs to go.

I kinda think Delphy's assessment is like a fart during a wedding ceremony.  It may be necessary, but it could've been held off on.  

Dude, seriously.  Can't you ever let go and be optimistic and, I don't know, happy?

And what helpful things have YOU brought to the table, huh?

Dude, seriously. Can't you be grateful and I don't know, do something productive rather then bashing someone who offered to buy and in turn save your beloved site?

God, there are the odd few who seem to love biting the hand that feeds them. There are other things you can do then posting pointless remarks - how about playing the game, reading a book, watching tv etc etc? Sorry if I seem harsh, ratty or bitchy but thats how I feel.

Aw, and I was reading the Q&A about the future of the sites. *sigh*  Okay, I'll be good, but only in the name of requested deletions.

Is the Viva La Revolucion post still there, or has Walt figured out how to delete things?  'Cause he seemed like a total ignert who expected that the Staff would do all the real work while he sat around on his cash-pile (slave labor, anyone?)

That whole thread with the macros? Still there as I just went in there to read it

Um....hi! *virgin poster*

InSim Admins...do you have full admin control panel access?  Why not disable the board while you work?

You can also do a mass deletion of each forum in the admin panel Forum Manager instead of going through the front door and working on each thread.

Sorry if this is what you're doing...it would just be far easier that way if someone has ACP access.

Rock on

Well said....a case of rum for you.  You know, there's always got to be that one stupid individual.

unfortunately, that seems to overload it more than going and doing a page at a time

however, all this is moot as I can't get on the fucking site at all now GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR 

[Anyerfillag]

Aww, thanks SamanthaS and Armywife (omg, you're here, lol!)  - just rattles me so much when some people who want this place saved seem so ungrateful for the work people have been putting in. Delphy was the first to jump in there and offer to take it off his hands and is STILL wanting to help out with making the forum (all the SMF stuff he's been talking about) and Bliss STILL has the bloody cheek to say that? I fear for future if thats how people thank others

[itslikethis]

I feel your pain, that's gotta be so frustrating....I suggested disabling the board so that visitors wouldn't be overwhelming resources while you worked...

I seriously wish I could help somehow, you guys are working your arses off!

Cool. I read most of it, but then lost the site.  I wanna grab the rest of the macros
